Rhine comes up 4 centimeters at Kaub

Kaub came up four centimeters overnight to 9, and the Alpine headwaters are due 33 millimeters of rain this week against a normal 25. The Rhine is still at low water, and the chance of a sailing day going as planned this week is 9 percent, up from 2 percent yesterday. The Danube held flat at Pfelling, 241 centimeters, where November reads 18 percent as planned. Low water like this usually means a lighter load, or a swap to a sister ship with a coach ride between the two.
